2001

An Irish revolutionist, he was sent to Oz while he appealed to stay in the United States rather than stand trial in England. He attracted the attention of Ryan O'Reilly, but cellmate Liam Meaney described Connolly as "an ass". Connolly's attitude was that the Irish Americans in Oz weren't "true Irish". When he learned that he has less than a week left in America, Connolly asked Ryan to help him build a bomb to blow up Emerald City. They put together the components, but Ryan tries to change Connolly's mind at the last minute. Connolly took the bomb to the center of Emerald City and announced that they had 1 minute 30 seconds to evacuate. When the clock hit zero, Connolly's dud didn't blow up. The SORT Team rushed in and tackled him, dragging him away.
